The characters are rich, the setting fascinating, the times interesting, and the creative use of the development of the speedy production of pencillium a fascinating move.

I loved the humor and the way the hero and heroine bantered back and forth. There were some great lines from all the characters and I liked that no one was very stiff and proper as in so many historical romances. I agree that the the lack of love scenes was a little disappointing but I did enjoy the ...             The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home46 reviews Avon, 2010 We feel like we base our decisions on rationality.

I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like this one as much until I read one of the other reviewers remarks. 'By the end it felt like an Indiana Jones movie.' Too true! That is exactly it. I guess I wanted a bit more from the romance department and less on the adventure. Foley still ...             Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality20 reviews Avon, 2010 Delicious Food for Thought Very well researched, well written and well argued. "Sex at Dawn" is clear, concise and very accessible and I would highly recommend it.

Anyone interested in the subjects of primatology, anthropology, evolution, human nature or feminist/queer theory will find ...             The Brazen Bride (The Black Cobra Quartet)17 reviews Stephanie Laurens Avon, 2010 It is fiction I cannot believe how many individual are picking on details in their reviews. Do you really sit down while you read and think about historical facts, why or whether bodies need to be discarded or not, etc.? Whether the story is plausible or not does not really matter. Any romance novel, or any movie staring a beautiful heroine and a dashing hero is a "fiction". When in real life do you ever ...             I Kissed an Earl (Pennyroyal Green Series)6 reviews Julie Anne Long Avon, 2010 Books like this are the reason I read romances.

This book was amazing I finished it within 24hour period. The first I've ever read of Lisa Kleypas' work. I would compare her writings to Julia Quinn's masterpieces. She has written a brilliant love story about overcoming social standards and how love conquers all. I can't convey how much I love this story of Simon & Annabelle. Kleypas created a great segue into her next book in the ...             Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1)213 reviews Jeaniene Frost Avon, 2007 Loved it! This series was recommended to me 2 years ago, but I dragged my feet about starting it. I must say I loved it and wish I hadn't waited so long.             The Devil in Winter (The Wallflowers, Book 3)147 reviews Lisa Kleypas Avon, 2006 . I expected to be blown away, given how many people have told me how good this book is, but the book itself wasn't amazing. It was one of the better of historical romances, but I really just enjoyed the characters the most. They were realistic and funny and I wouldn't mind seeing them star in another book, maybe an alternate universe one set in space.             Nothing But Trouble46 reviews Rachel Gibson Avon, 2010 Nothing but wonderful!

I have read all of them so far and loved them all. This one however was my absolute favorite. This book clearly stands alone and is a breathtaking story that isn't for the light hearted.
